If you're excited for You're Next

One of the smartest and most terrifying films in years, You're Next reinvents the genre by putting a fresh twist on home-invasion horror. When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped...until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.

Which Iconic Scream Queen Would Last The Longest In A Horror Hunger Games?

Despite several new releases in theaters, this weekend's top sales went to last week's number one, Lee Daniels' The Butler. None of the newcomers could break into the second place spot either, leaving that honor to last weekend's number two We're The Millers.

Weekend Box Office: The Butler Still Number One; The Mortal Instruments and You're Next Fizzle

It's hard to imagine any more ominous thing to hear in a dark, remote cabin, maybe one that was filled with your entire family before dinner was interrupted by some mask-wearing villains, armed to the teeth. And as a title for a horror movie, it's a good hint that the slashing and screaming you're about to see is smarter than average

Scripted by Simon Barrett, You're Next begins as a well-to-do family comes together for a reunion, the adult children of the family all bringing their significant others. Unfortunately, what they don't see coming is the trio of masked assassins that make it very clear they want the entire family dead. But what the killers don't know is that one of the people in the house is actually quite well-trained in the art of survival.

You're Next Poster Premiere!

If you haven't been following the You're Next buzz up to this point, here are the basics: it's a home invasion thriller, about a wealthy family's reunion interrupted by a bunch of killers wearing animal masks. But just when you think you know where this story is going, it surprises you both with an unexpected hero and a sense of humor that keeps the whole thing moving. It's one of the best horror surprises in the last few years

You're Next Exclusive GIF: A Home Invasion Thriller As Sharp As Knives

What’s You’re Next about? On a surface level, it’s about a dysfunctional family getting together for a contentious reunion in an isolated mansion. But an attack from the outside has the normally-distant family members banding together in a twist on Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians premise and Michael Haneke’s Straw Dogs.

You're Next Gets Three Creepy New Teaser Posters

We’ve been waiting a long time for Adam Wingard’s You’re Next. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011, where it received rave reviews, and followed that up with a screening at Fantastic Fest that same year, but since then has been completed off the map.

How Adam Wingard's You're Next Has Been Improved On Its Long Journey To Theaters

Though it would be inappropriate to label You’re Next as a horror comedy, as the movie doesn’t spend a whole lot of time making jokes or winking at the audience, don’t think that means it isn’t one hell of a fun ride. The scares are so effective, bloody and intense that you can’t help by giggle afterwards as a reflex...

SXSW: You're Next Is How You Do A Home Invasion Thriller Right

The fun of moviegoing is often in the surprises, in thinking you've got the lay of the land only to walk into a theater completely thrown off. At the same time, you can at least do your best to be prepared, and to keep a mental note for those movies that could sneak up on you in the end. Yes, everyone on the Internet is already anticipating Man of Steel and Pacific Rim and Saving Mr. Banks and the year's other heavyweights, but what about the smaller movies you might not see coming?

2013 Movies You're Not Looking Forward To Yet, But Should Be

I'm almost done with my stint at the Toronto Film Festival, so it seems oddly appropriate that a film I saw at the end of last year's fest is making headlines today. You're Next, the wry indie horror film that premiered here last year and was snapped up by Lionsgate Entertainment, has finally set a release date

Fantastic Fest Day 3: Retreat, The Day, And You're Next Reviewed

I've been in Toronto for a week now, and though there are still movies playing and even interviews left to conduct, the festival is starting to wind down. A lot of people seem to think it's exhausting spending 10 full days seeing movies, eating poorly and never exercising, and I'd argue against it but I'm feeling too exhausted. Instead I'll just point you to the latest video blog, in which I run down the two films I caught yesterday
